The TAMA Imperialstar includes all you need — just add sticks

TAMA takes the guesswork out of assembling a truly playable set of drums. Included with your TAMA Imperialstar is a quality set of Meinl HCS cymbals — 14″ hi-hats, a 16″ crash, and a 20″ ride — for a stage-ready sound. A TAMA single-chain drive kick pedal provides a smooth playing action for your bass drum, and a full selection of TAMA hardware provides the stability you need. The cherry on top is a TAMA Imperialstar drum throne, which provides comfort for long playing sessions.

The warm, balanced tone of poplar

The shells of your TAMA Imperialstar are made from six plies of lightweight poplar. Poplar is known for its quick decay and full-bodied tone, which are just the qualities you want for close-miking applications onstage and in the studio.

100% glued wraps

Unlike some others kits, the TAMA Imperialstar’s attractive wrapped finishes are glued 360° around the shells to eliminate buzzing or lifting of any kind. This leads to long-lasting good looks and a more consistent, resonant tone throughout the kit.

Better performance through precision bearing edges

Bearing edges play a big part in how your drums sound and tune up over time. Fortunately, TAMA’s edge-cutting process produces clean bearing edges on all the Imperialstar’s shells. The result is a set of drums that ring true, with a wide tuning range and sensitive playing dynamics to suit most styles of music.
